Transmission & Distribution
 Electric cooperatives and municipal electric systems are growing at an increasing rate. GUERNSEY, providing transmission and distribution design services for more than 75 years, is a trusted partner of utility clients throughout the central U.S. Our engineers are able to provide the full array of engineering, planning and field services required for electric utilities lacking an in-house engineering staff. For utilities with an in-house engineering staff, GUERNSEY engineers routinely provide “extra capacity” for utilities. Our staff works alongside in-house engineers focusing on special projects, providing planning services or just being available to serve as an extension of the utility’s staff, even on short notice.
GUERNSEY engineers also provide a wide scope of services for non-utilities who own and operate electric distribution facilities such as oilfield operators, military facilities, universities and industrial complexes.
